Caden POV

I take a deep breath before stepping into the hallway, hoping the cool air will do something about the heat still burning beneath my skin.

It doesn't.

Neither does it do anything for the arousal that refuses to settle.

My body is still reacting to Marissa as though she's still in my arms. I can still feel the softness of her lips, the way her fingers twisted into my shirt, the heat of her body against mine.

Worse, I can still feel how close I came to sinking my fangs into her neck an

    Gwen's lips part as if she wants to ask why.I don't give her the opportunity.Seconds later, her door closes behind me while my mind is already working.Gwen cannot be far from me. My mother, Zach and Kerris were right about that.I've already compelled her to keep quiet, but that doesn't mean I can pretend the risk no longer exists. The farther she is from me, the higher the risk of "error."At the same time, I cannot have everyone assuming she's going to be my Luna.That means I need another solution. Fast. I rub the back of my neck, trying to think of something. That's when Ryder walks through the small gate.“Alpha,” he calls out the greeting. "I learned you came this way."“Beta Ryder.”His brow furrows immediately.Because I almost never call him that formally. He knows it too. Before he can ask what's wrong, I reach for the mindlink.'Do you have a girlfriend?'His eyebrows shoot up. 'No. Why?''What about a mate? Fated or chosen?'His response comes too quickly.'Goddess for

    Caden POVI take a deep breath before stepping into the hallway, hoping the cool air will do something about the heat still burning beneath my skin.It doesn't.Neither does it do anything for the arousal that refuses to settle.My body is still reacting to Marissa as though she's still in my arms. I can still feel the softness of her lips, the way her fingers twisted into my shirt, the heat of her body against mine. Worse, I can still feel how close I came to sinking my fangs into her neck and marking her.I almost marked my mate.Just like that.The thought stops me for half a second. What the hell came over me?I have never lost control with a female like that. Not with anyone. Not even when Nyx gets crazily hõrny. But with Marissa, everything I tell myself I'm supposed to resist becomes harder to remember the moment she is in my arms.I drag a hand over my face and force myself to focus.Whatever happened in that room, I'll figure it out later.Right now, I have another problem.

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   53. Desire and outrage

    Marissa POV“You don't get to send me away.”I stand up so suddenly that the mattress shifts behind me. Fury surges through me. At Caden. And his mother. And at this suffocating situation, and most of all at myself for still feeling this strong pull toward him despite everything.I am determined to fight it no matter what.“Don't you come close to me!” I warn.He doesn't stop.Almost as if my warning is a challenge, Caden keeps moving toward me, his gaze fixed on mine. A deliberate, predatory advance. Until I'm backing away without even realizing it, my spine eventually meeting the wall behind me. He has me crowded against the wall now, his body a solid wall of heat and muscle. “Why?” His voice was low, rough. “I have every right to.” His lips hovered a breath from mine. I stood rigid, every muscle locked.“Does your mother know you’re here?" I ask, my voice breathless and shaking. "What does your Luna think about this? I heard she doesn’t have a clue yet—she won’t carry your childr

    His presence simply creeps into the house, filling the space around me before I even hear his footsteps.I run the rest of the way into the bedroom and slam the door behind me. My back hits it, and I suck in a deep breath. My heart is pounding so hard I can feel it in my throat.A few seconds pass, and then...Knock. Knock. “Marissa!”I lock the door with shaky hands. Only then do I move away from it, forcing myself toward the bed to sit down and wait for him to...Leave.He'll realize I'm not going to open the door and go to Gwen instead.The thought should not hurt this much. Instead, something inside me twists painfully in a violent protest. Tanya lets out a low, miserable groan inside me, restless and aching for her mate.Stop it.I squeeze my eyes shut.“Marissa?” Another knock lands against the door, harder this time.“What’s the matter? You're no longer taking visitors?” His voice carries a teasing edge that makes me feel worse. “That Gamma wore you out with his visit, didn't

    Marissa POVI'm somewhat disappointed when Milo doesn't stick around longer. He has to get back to work. He'd said he was only passing by and wanted to check on me, especially after learning that my “crush's” Luna is now living right next door. He had even laughed about it, trying to make the whole situation sound less suffocating than it feels. I was somehow grateful for his little jokes.He had been around when my meal arrived, so he stayed and shared it with me. For a little while, having someone to talk to had made the new house feel less strange. Less like a beautiful prison.Now, our conversation is over.I walk him to the door, still smiling faintly at something he'd said. Then movement near the entrance catches my eye. My smile disappears.Caden Stone.My heart seems to forget its rhythm. As usual. For once, I'm thankful that I'm not allowed past the door except when heading to work.I step back immediately and turn around even before the door clicks shut behind me. I head ba

    Caden POVDinner continues in silence as I struggle to keep my mouth shut after Kerris's remark. I don't need to argue with anyone anymore. Not Mom. Or Alpha Gareth. And certainly not the Alpha King and the White Wolf.It's not like I'm surprised the two of them agree with my parents anyway.Marissa's social status must have been on their minds when they came to their conclusions. To them, she's an omega prisoner with no notable bloodline. Gwen, on the other hand, is acceptable. She's known. She has the "acceptable" bloodline and is from the right circle. She can stand beside me without making anyone question the strength of my pack or the Stone bloodline.Fine.I'm not going to waste my energy arguing about it tonight.What I will do is find a way to handle the Gwen situation first. Once I have a plan that works, then I'll tell them what I've decided. And if they still try to force their own solution on me, that would be the time to argue. For now, I'll save my energy and enjoy the

    Zach POVYes. True. I should listen to her. She's pretty. She'll be Luna Qu--Ares' groans cut off that line of thought. He's struggling to emerge but can't. "Something's wrong...""Nothing is wrong," Madison insists, her eyes turning bright with purpose. I want to disagree with her but can't. H
